We offer a variety of services that make the Apple Online Store the ideal place for you to purchase items to give as gifts for family and friends. Find out everything you need to know about giving a gift through the Apple Online Store.

For most items in our store, you can include a gift message on the packing slip — at no charge.
When you select to put an item in your cart, just check the box that says “ This is a gift” or “Add a free gift message.” You’ll be prompted to create your message after you’ve finished shopping and have selected to check out. If your order includes items intended for different recipients, you can enter a message for each item so that when the gifts arrive, it will be clear which item is intended for whom. At this time, the Apple Online Store does not support shipping items in a single order to multiple shipping addresses. To send gifts to different addresses, please place a new order through the Apple Online Store — one order per shipping address.
And don’t worry about pricing information being displayed for gift items. For all orders, the price is only included in the email notifications and never on the packing slips in the box. So if you have a gift shipped directly to family or friends, they won’t see the cost.
When you order a new iPod or select Apple-branded software and accessories, you can add a special touch to your gift: the Apple Gift Package (subject to availability). The Apple Gift Package is a signature gift box with a red ribbon and a greeting card with your personal message.
Look for the gift icon 
on a product page to find out if the Apple Gift Package is available.
Want to make an iPod gift extra special? You can engrave any model of a new iPod — iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod. Personalized laser engraving is only available through the Apple Online Store. Engraving is not offered for refurbished iPods.
After you select your iPod from the Apple Online Store, you will be offered the option to type up to two lines of text for iPod nano or iPod, and one line of text for iPod shuffle. As you type, you’ll see an image of what your text will look like on the iPod pictured on the right of the page. The text will be engraved near the top on the back of the iPod, just like it appears on the image.
Please make sure that everything is spelled correctly, as your engraved iPod can’t be returned. You may wish to review our Terms and Conditions. You may be able to make changes to the engraved text or cancel your item if the online Order Status indicates that your iPod has “Not Yet Shipped.” See the Viewing & Changing Orders section of online Help for details.
An iPod makes the perfect gift for business, employee recognition, sales incentives, client appreciation and special events. Order any combination from the popular iPod family and customize your iPods with your company logo or text engraving.
